WELCOME TO BLOGGING

Hi! Welcome to English 1203 and to blogging. As part of the English class, we will be working on blogs.   This will help you to practice your English in a different, and hopefully, a fun way. Throughout the semester you will be required to comment on  blog entries and/or post your own entries. This will make up 20% of your final grade.


Points will be given for your effort. No points will be deducted for errors. However,you will lose points for incomplete work, late entries or work not done by you. Remember, this is just another way to practice English so do the entry by yourself.

At the end of each blog, a due date will be posted. The value of each blog will vary.  Entries posted later than 3 days will NOT be counted.

Topics will vary and will not necessarily be related to what is being discussed in class.  Suggestions for topics are welcome. So let's start blogging!
